Abstract
Cough sounds are readily identifiable by the human ear and therefore have the potential to be objectively quantified for the assessment of this common symptom. In recent years several systems for objectively measuring cough in ambulatory patients have been developed. Such objective measures are already providing insights into the mechanisms underlying coughing and the efficacy of novel and established anti-tussive agents. However, further development and validation is required to achieve accurate, fully automated cough detection systems applicable to large clinical trials and clinical practice. The aim of this review is to describe current cough recording and detection technologies, how these techniques have been applied in clinical studies and potential future developments.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
